For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Flyers to pick up on a win over the Penguins at home. With the moneyline sitting at -143, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Flyers straight-up.

For a puck line pick, we are going with the Flyers to win and cover. Look for the Flyers to win this one by multiple goals over the Penguins.

With an over/under line sitting at 6 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
